Known for its numerous coastlines and waterways on the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay, the Mid-Atlantic state of Maryland captures the essence of America from the white sand beaches in the east to the Appalachian Mountains in the west.

The state's largest city of Baltimore is a must-visit attraction, boasting an impressive array of museums, the historic Inner Harbor and of course the National Aquarium, widely considered to be the best in the country.

Visitors to Maryland should be sure to explore the charming state capital of Annapolis with its proud maritime history, Ocean City's impressive beaches, and Sandy Spring's popular Adventure Park.
